(NYT photo)RALEIGH, North Carolina: Hurricane Florence churned Tuesday toward the Eastern Seaboard as a storm of "staggering" size, forcing a million people to evacuate the coast. Combined with high tides, the storm surge could swell as high as 3.5 metres (12 feet). Map shows most probable tracks for Hurricane Florence. North Carolina Gov Roy Cooper said his state is "in the bull's-eye" and urged people to "get ready now." She said it was built in 2009 in Buxton, North Carolina, up on a ridge, and made to withstand a hurricane.
